r 1 CASHIER co.',,or WATERTQWN, wIsooNsIN I Application fi led September This invention pertainsto" coin trays or magaz nes adapted for the convenlent and proper stacking of coins'of various denominations of predetermined amounts; a I

' Heretofore, trays of thls general character n have beenpermanently made up to accommo-.

date various predetermined assortments of coins, and masmuch as each tray 1s used under different conditions a great multiplicity 7c of trays had to be made up and carried in stock in order to accommodate the variousa'ssortments of coins desired. Either that, or the trays had to be constructed special in numerous cases.- For example, in some instances a tray is required for only two, or three denominations of coins, while in others a tray may be desired to accommodateall denominations; 'In actual practice, it has been found that a great number of'combina- :21 tions is required to meet all cbnditions. n It is, therefore, primarily the object ofthe.

foregoing character which maybe; detach 5E5 ably mounted upon conventional-coin deliv- .er -machines for convenient use therewith.

Transverse stiffening ribs 4, secured to the'rear side of the plate I, serve to'reenforce the same and preventwarping. I In order to support the' tray 'in an inclined vertical position, desirable for the most convenient view of the coins carried thereby and for 'theqremoval and insertion of'the same, brackets 5 aresecured to the rear. of theback plate 1- adjacent its side' edges. Pivotally seicured to theb'ra'ckets are a pair of supporting legs 6 connected by a transverse brace' 7 Should'it be desired to mount theftray upon the I: conventional typejof coin delivery machine, the legs-dare swung inwardly and retained in this position by means of the butandi'out, but frictionally hold the same inl, V

f-For'the purpose of receiving stacks of coins of various denominations and of prdeter- .mined amounts; a" plurality of coin troughs are provided,'consisting ofehannel members 11 preferablyiormedby stamping the same out of sheet metal. Obviously, these troughs are tormed of Various Widths to accommodate comslof different denominations.

Because of this, it is quite obvious that it 'is only necessary tocarry in stock troughs for. theditterent denominations of coins, and for predetermined numbers of coins in a stack, Whichtroughs may be readily assembledon ments encountered in e-Very- -instance,'-and 7 should conditions change, the arrangement of' ,the'troughs may be easily varied, thus elimi- Hating the expense to-the consumer, of pur- .C. hasing.an5entire new tray, 1

Itlwill 'further be appreciated that the spe eific.-'manner of constructing the individual trays by means ofstampings further simpli- -fies. and eliminates machine work, thus reduc ing the cost. ofmanufacturei" use, the. tray may be vpositioned either uprighhsupparted upon its legs, or laid horizontally, in which position one end is supported upon the brackets. 5, to slightly incline the tray.
